Product details
Katharine "Kitty" Parker (1886-1971) was born and raised near
Longford in northern Tasmania. after early studies in Melbourne.
she took lessons with the great Australian pianist Percy
Grainger. Grainger's estimation of Parker was that she was the
best student he ever had and that her composing talents were
second to none. In London Parker began composing in earnest and
published songs and piano pieces from 1913 until the mid 1930s.
Her music generally reflected the Edwardian tendencies of the
time towards sentimentality, particularly in the songs but, with
an individual persuasive emotional sensibility genuinely admired
by Grainger .
This CD, featuring Ian Munro (piano) and Jane Edwards (soprano)
performing Kitty's songs and piano music, was funded by the
Tasmanian Bicentenary.
